It was during a safari vacation
in the early 1970's when Lou Segal made
his discovery. He came upon a number of
tribes performing rituals and noticed that
one particular group had thick, strong,
healthy heads of hair. "I found out
that this one group applied a mixture of
plants, roots & leaves to their heads
and their faces and would wait for the moon
to come out," the elder Segals explains.
"The reason was that they felt that
the moon would absorb & cleanse their
souls of all the evil spirits through the
medium of this earthy botanical mixture.
What they did'nt realize was that they were
unknowingly giving themselves the best hair
& scalp treatment nature has to offer.

Mr. Segal asked the tribe's chief to give
him a sample of the mixture whcih he took
back to his laboratory in Cape Town for
analysis. He incorpoarted his findings into
his scalp formulas, shampoos and conditioners.

While the components were all from natural
sources, the exact ingredients remain a
secret.

His new products met with surprising results
with many people reporting drastic reductions
in hair loss and even new hair growth. But
as increasing political uncertainty grew
in South Africa, Mr. Segal decided it would
be best for his family to leave the country.

"I am fortunate to have access to
my fathers formula," son Darryl says.
"And as a pharmacist, and being fascinated
with the results people were receiving from
the product for so many years, my life long
commitment is to improve on the formula
and make it available to as many people
as possible.
